Had Enough of Big Oil?

Oil Change’s Separate Oil and State campaign is just about to kick-off big time. The ad below is ready to run in newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times.

The House just authorized drilling in the Arctic, the Bush Administration is still slashing energy efficiency programs, and both are opposing any kind of windfall profits tax on their friends in the oil industry. Seems like the $8.6 million Big Oil has already spent on buying influence for the 2006 election is paying off. Oil Company profits have increased as the price of gas has gone up for all of us. But what’s good for Exxon, Chevron, and others is not necessarily good for the rest of us. Oil is at the core of issues like the health of our communities, global warming, war, and developing country debt.

We’ve had enough! Haven’t you? Tell us what you think of the ad.. or even better get involved.. See the full-page ad here.
